Large clots menstrua: This is not normal. You should contact your doctor for an appointment for a complete examination to determine the cause of this problem.

Heavy menstruation: Golf ball size clots and soaking through tampons and pads mean you bleed a lot during menstruation. After the doctor's evaluation, first test comes to mind is a ultrasound examination.
